These five tales involve the seamy side of life including crime and espionage but also much darker forces. These pages take us into myth and the supernatural where the imagination can soar above, or do I mean below, the humdrum, visible world. Here you will explore life in a murky trade where violence and murder can erupt and you will see into the secret state. You will also delve into timeless myth where lurk eternal powers. We will journey together into a conspiracy theory which may explain every other conspiracy theory and we will question reality itself.
